    I was looking for a television to watch movies and some video documentaries in the best possible quality and I agreed with reality. I found it! As they already mentioned, it is not so bright for a place with a lot of ambient light, but for a bedroom and another place where you can control the light it is excellent. The best thing is watching movies in HDR, the sound is not bad, for the size of the cabinet. I didn't like the remote control at first... But in the end I didn't change it for another one, being backlit is magnificent. It only lacks a dedicated button to turn the screen black, that is, without an image, this way the OLED is taken care of by only using it as, for example, Spotify. (translated from Spanish)

    The best TV you can get if you're limited to 42"

    I have an A9G Master 77" in the living room and wanted everything it offers but in a smaller size as the bedroom TV. We have a TV armoire that can accepts a TV no larger than a 42" panel. I sat there staring longingly at the 48" knowing it was just an inch or two too wide and then the 42" dropped. Unlike the 10 year-old panel this replaced there are no RCA analog outs to feed my ancient audio system in the bedroom. This was easily remedied with a SPDIF->RCA box and setting the speaker output to PCM. Yes the built-in speaker/panel setup these have is curiously good for what it is, but actual speakers and an actual subwoofer will win hands down. I didn't even consider the LG, everything else in the household is Google ecosystem and this meshes nicely.

    Sound was awesome and Picture was awesome. If the TV tuner built into this box was better I would have kept it. Now seeing that most TV tuners are bad, I wish I would have kept this Sony. The remote control didn't have very many options, so I would have to replace that; otherwise, it was a great TV.

    I love my new Sony Bravia tv. The in store service was exceptional. They guided me to the best option for my living room. I have large windows that the tv actually faces and there is no glare! Exceptional picture quality! Worth every penny. I also purchased the in home set up and five year service plan. The Geek Squad guys delivered it, set it up quickly. They were professional and very friendly. I’m extremely pleased with my purchase and the all around excellent service I received in the store and at delivery and set up.

    We were delighted to find this television, which fills a bookcase shelf, and has a really good screen and a speaker that has not required the addition of a soundbar. It's hard to find this size of television, for those who prefer not to have a very large screen, but still want an ample viewing area.

    The remote lights up! The "Reality Creation" picture setting...WOW! Makes Xbox Series X optimized games pop! LG C2? lol get out of here! Game mode on, contrast enhance low, black level auto low, luminance low, HDR off (HDR is a scam), sRGB color with Live Color low, and you won't need a new TV until 203X. Don't even need VRR enabled on Xbox which makes the picture lag. VRR off ZERO tearing on Gears 5, Halo 5, or any 4k 120hz games. Bonus: it has a gaming reticle option. Really helps my newb in Gears shotgun fights.

    I am quite pleased with my Sony Bravia XR A90K OLED TV. Fantastic picture. I've been a Sony TV fan for decades and this one does not disappoint. It was much more complicated to setup than the nine year old Sony KDL-40W600B it replaced. Now, I can watch Disney+, MGM+ and Max in my home office, which is where I spend the majority of my awake time. Finally, a TV with the picture quality comparable to the old plasma screen TVs.

    Great oled TV for gaming. I use it strictly for PC gaming compared to the popular LG C2 or Samsung equivalent. I've always found Sony to have better motion handling, and between having all 3 of the big name offers I settled on the Sony also due in part to it having better brightness than the C2 at peak. I also went from 48" to 42" due to the pixel density. Sitting within 3 feets of the screen does have a noticeable difference in how crisp the image is, though both sizes are phenomenal. It also has very passable speakers if you don't have a set of external speakers.

    It was time to upgrade my 10-year-old 40” LED flatscreen TV and needed one that was better, but was able to fit in my old entertainment unit without having to get rid of it & spend more money on a new one. I was torn between the Sony & LG, which were the only companies made a TV in OLED & was able to fit the dimensions of my entertainment unit. I ended up picking the Sony 42” OLED. It is the perfect size, great picture, sound is better (eventually will add a sound bar later), & of course, way better features than my old TV.
